Spring Break in Italy
I
am so blessed to have been able to spend an ENTIRE week in Italy! A fellow
Agronomy Ambassador, Shelby Sigman and I spent our time exploring Parma,
Florence, and Rome. We visited a vineyard that produces balsamic vinegar, and
also a creamery where they produce parmigiano reggiano. We saw the Trevi
Fountain, the Colosseum, David and many more beautiful sites. My absolute FAVORITE
thing that I saw was the Trevi Fountain. The legend has it that the fountain
was originally made for horses to get a drink. Then the story evolved that
before the Roman soldiers would go to war, they would go to the fountain and
pray to the gods that they would return safely to Rome after war. Then they
would throw a coin over their shoulder into the fountain …. Luck is blind. Now
the locals say that if you throw a coin in over your shoulder, you will one day
return back to Rome. Here are some of my favorite pictures from my journey!
